I was already very shy and insecure, and, though I’ve managed to get on with my life, I now feel even more insecure and a little bit of ashamed of my condition. How can I feel more confident about this new aspect of my life? I hope I can help you access support to enable you to go into your new life with growing confidence and peace. I wasn’t sure where you live but I went to the Royal National Institute for Deaf People, which supports people in the UK who are deaf, or have hearing loss or tinnitus. Michael said he was really nervous when he got his implant, and wasn’t sure if he would feel better or worse.
